I have a Pedersoli Gibbs that, for best accuracy at long range, wants a patch dampened with distilled water between each shot.
I have a .36 caliber flintlock that, when used with 20 grains of powder, a lubricated over-powder wad, and a lubricated patch, never needs to be cleaned during a day's shooting.
And I have a bunch of guns in between, as well.
So in my opinion, there is no one-size-fits-all solution. Each individual gun will tell you what it wants.
